The dilemma in which the Opposition Writers involved themselves-by accusing Government' of dastardly desertion of a noble cause, charging them with the design of withdrawing onr Army froth Spain, and, at the same time, maintaining, that S'pain was not likely to be sufficiently zealous in re sisting the Invader, perplexed those Writers so much, that they were ,for a few days quite at a loss for any cover 'to . their inconsistency. Now, however, they endeavour to get rid of their gross contradielion, by a reference to that part of His Majesty's Declaration which alluded to the contemptous manner in whig 4 , :: BUONIATARTE spoke of ." the universal Spanish Nat-nt Lion, charaeleri zing them by the degrading appellation of Spani,sh Insurgents;" and hence these Writers contend, that if the whole Spanish Nation are de termined to be free, we'ought not to,abandon their • cause. But in the first place, these Writers =sr prove that the British Government had any inten tion to abandon the cause of Spain ; and if, accord ing to their own statements of the situation of affairs, in Spain, she wanted resolution and unanimityAo support herself, the Writers have then to prove tha t. it would be a cowardly measure to prevent our troops from being wantonly sacrificed.
